Super Group to Combine With SPAC Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp.

New York – April 25, 2021 – Cooley advised Super Group, a holding company for leading global online sports betting and gaming businesses Betway and Spin, on its agreement to merge with Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company or SPAC. The transaction places a pre-money valuation on Super Group of $4.75 billion and will result in the combined business being publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SGHC.” Partners Justin Stock, Garth Osterman, Miguel Vega and David Peinsipp led the Cooley team advising Super Group.

The combination will give Super Group access to the capital markets and a strong platform to accelerate its global growth strategy, as well as expansion into the fast-growing US online sports betting and gaming market. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021.
